Review of paired tattoos for girlfriends and their placement

Paired tattoos for lovers are already a classic. They are less common among friends and girlfriends, although they have become much more popular in recent years. The increase in interest in them is not accidental, because this is a good way to show your affection and devotion. Tattoos will remind friends of each other, even when they are separated by continents. It is about paired tattoos for friends, and even more specifically - for girlfriends, and will be discussed below. How to choose a sketch, in what style and on what part of the body to get a tattoo - we will answer these questions.

The first rule of pairing tattoos for best friends is no rules. Drawings can be different, they can be made in different styles and be on different parts of the body. Or, conversely, to be completely identical. It is not at all necessary that these will be common tattoos for two people - you can also choose beautiful options for three friends. It's up to you to decide. The main thing in such a tattoo is that it should remind people of each other.

However, there is still one rule (or, rather, one piece of advice) - you must be confident in your friendship. Friendship should be time-tested, especially if the tattoo contains a direct reference to the person: name, date of birth, etc. In the event of a breakdown, you will have to either reduce the drawing, or redo it, or live with a constant reminder of the once close person.

But let's not talk about sad things. Let's move on to the main options for paired tattoos.

Identical drawing. Everything here is quite simple and complicated at the same time - you need to choose something that is equally significant for both, or denotes a connection between people.This may be due to your common hobbies, profession, some stories, known to you alone.

Tattoo reminders. Each other's names and dates of birth are the most obvious example of this type of paired tattoos, but it is not limited to them. Signs of the zodiac, favorite flowers and animals of each other - the scope for imagination is huge.

All kinds of paired symbols... Lock and key, puzzle pieces, even a plug and socket.

Tattoo halves... In this case, each of the friends fills in a part of the image. When you combine the drawings, you get a single composition.

We are confident in our decision, which means that you can proceed to the choice of a drawing. In this regard, with paired tattoos, everything is a little simpler than with ordinary tattoos - two people generate ideas.

You can dwell on something classic for joint tattoos: yin and yang, halves of the heart, the moon and the sun, symbols that refer to a close, long relationship between people (figure eight, a lock with a key, wings, pieces of chain, a handshake), in the end - your names. Such mini-tattoos can be easily performed by any professional artist, and a thoughtful sketch and attention to detail will help to make them individual. The same names can be written in Morse code.

If you want something unique, shared memories will be your best helpers. Some phrases that are understandable only for two, small maps of places where they rested together, significant dates for your friendship. With the latter, you can act in an original way by finding pictures of the starry sky that day and using them as references.

You can take the words from your favorite song with your friend. It will look even more curious if one of you uses a quote in the original language, and the other makes a tattoo with a translation.

Common interests, hobbies, favorite music, movies - use it all. You can also play on opposites. A trivial example: one of you loves cats, the other loves dogs. A puppy and a kitten, made in the same style, will both reflect the predilections of a particular person and remind you of your friendship. The main thing is to forget about the stereotypical dislike of dogs and cats for each other. Growing up together, these animals can easily be friends.

The drawing can be anything: flowers, a glass of wine, symbols of your favorite bands, films, books, airplanes, all kinds of animals - the list is endless. The main thing is to choose an image with meaning. It is not so important whether this sign will be understood by everyone around or only you.

Contrary to stereotypes, tattoos for girls are not necessarily cute watercolor flowers. Unusual graphics, daring old school, light watercolor - it all depends on preferences... By the way, an interesting solution for paired tattoos can be the same image made by you and your friend in different styles.

One of the most popular tattoo trends today is realism. This sophisticated technique, which requires maximum professionalism from the master, allows you to create an image on the body with almost photographic accuracy.

If you want butterflies indistinguishable from living butterflies to "sit" on your and your friend's wrists, then realism is your choice. Insects, animals, imitation of scars, blood vessels - such unique tattoos can be created only by working in this technique. She should be the choice of those friends who are ready to take the risk and capture photographically accurate portraits of each other on their bodies.

Based on a traditional style lying between graphics and painting, a tattoo technique perfect for girls.

Smooth color transition, imitation of paint splashes, gradient - all this is typical for watercolor tattoos. These are airy, weightless drawings with a slight negligence effect. Such images do not have a clear outline; in the leading positions here work with color, light and shade.

The style does not have any specific bindings to the theme of the drawing. Combinations of natural motives and geometry, works inspired by the starry sky, space, and the sea look interesting.

Style that has remained popular for many years... Celtic weaving, Maori ornaments, all kinds of hieroglyphs - there is a huge scope for choice here. At the same time, ideally, you should be familiar with the culture of the people whose ethnic motives you plan to use in the image.

Fruits, leaves, seeds, stones, flowers - these images are characteristic of organic matter and look organically in this style.... They can be shown in section or enlarged to the utmost. For two, by the way, an interesting option would be to apply a tattoo with two halves of a seed or different parts of the same plant.

Organics are characterized by the method of "torn skin", the harmony of all elements, inspiration from botanical illustration.

A young trend inspired by engraving and book graphics. The main color here is deep black, there is no place for halftones here. Clear, hard lines, elaboration of strokes, noticeable contours.

The themes of the drawings all follow from the same old books. And the range of design options there is endless: from a lantern on the street of an old town to an old sword. Animalistic and plant motifs are also common.

As with realism, the complexity of this style requires attention when choosing a master. In order for the graphic lines to play, it is necessary to correctly position the tattoo, taking into account all the curves of the body.

Abstract tattoos are one of the most versatile options, since you yourself fill them with meaning. The combination of spots of color, all kinds of lines, intricate shapes - such tattoos are successfully combined with watercolors, and if desired, they can be easily extended.

If you want something extremely laconic, this is the place for you. Minimalism is based on precision and simplicity of composition. The content here dominates the form.

There is no place for a lot of details and colors. But this does not mean that friends will have nothing to choose from. You can refer to your children's drawings - you just need to remove the color components from them. Or one of you can fill a triangle and the other a circle. Consider the meaning of the tattoo, choose a simple, perhaps even a little naive drawing that will correspond to the intended meaning.

The advantage of such tattoos is that their implementation will not take you a lot of time and money.

A popular tattoo trend now, great for pairing, is geometric tattoos.

There are 2 options.

• Drawings without a specific plot. Simply aesthetically pleasing combinations of lines and geometric shapes, linear ornaments.
• Images of plants, animals, people collected from figures.

For the bright, juicy old cheekbones, you need to say "thanks" to the sailors of the 19th century - they gave us this direction.

Here you will be faced with a limited number of plots. The main range to choose from is as follows:

• stylized inscriptions;
• anchors;
• mermaids;
• angels;
• crosses;
• women;
• hearts;
• stars;
• flames.

Such drawings should be performed as brightly as possible.

Rethinking old school in the 80s of the XX century. Here we see all the same bright colors, but the plot frames are almost completely gone. New cheekbones are clear contours, a heap of details, work with voids in the image. Such tattoos are visible and distinguishable from afar.

New school appreciates humor... It's okay to turn to graffiti and ... comics for inspiration! And they can serve as a real treasure of ideas for paired tattoos. Goofy and Mickey, Tom and Jerry, Batman and Superman, Chip and Dale are the very first options that come to mind.Throw in the traditional New School motifs and the original sketch is in your hands.

As for the classic themes, all the same old school plots are acceptable here. All kinds of roses, skulls, birds, mermaids - all the same, but with perky, hooligan notes.

The choice of a color scheme in this case entirely depends on the wishes of the customer and the style of the tattoo. Both monochrome and color works are equally popular. Bright old school, black and white graphics, delicate watercolors - anything is acceptable.

You can beat the pairing with color by filling the same patterns in opposite tones of the color wheel. Or, conversely, to make just the color a unifying element. You can perform images in each other's favorite colors.

Most often, the sizes of paired female tattoos are small. A flower, a name, a lock with a key - they rarely require a lot of space. Moreover, with a miniature drawing, it is easier to pick up a sketch, hide a tattoo from strangers, and even reduce it if the friendship is not as strong as you thought it is easier.

The easiest way to choose the size is based on the location of the tattoo. It will be discussed further.

The correct location of the tattoo on the body is one of the guarantees that the drawing will look harmonious and proportional.

This also applies to paired tattoos, especially halves, because if they are filled incorrectly, the whole pattern will not work. The halves should be positioned so that it is convenient for you to combine them without using yoga poses.

In all other cases, the place for the tattoo does not have to be the same. We are all different - someone is ready for a tattoo on the fingers, and someone wants the image to remain personal and hidden from prying eyes. Moreover, not in all areas of activity, tattoos on open areas of the body are considered acceptable. Remember this and take into account when choosing a place not only your personal preferences, but also the desires and capabilities of your friend. And now - to the specifics.

Most often, tattoos are placed on the back of the neck. This place is convenient because in many cases it is hidden by hair, which means that the tattoo can be covered if necessary. Small drawings or tattoos that extend to the spine look good here.

Tattoos on the sides of the neck look interesting, but not everyone is ready for them. Popular options for such tattoos are two closing wings of a bird. But such images are more likely an individual than a pair version, since not everyone will decide on them, as well as on all kinds of tattoo collars.

Depending on the location and preferred style of clothing, this option can be either hidden from everyone, or always visible. The zone is good for miniature or medium-sized drawings, inscriptions.

The choice for a tattoo, which, most likely, only the closest ones will know about. The size and theme of the picture here depends only on personal preference. It can be a miniature picture, or a rather large drawing or inscription.

Shoulders, forearms, wrists are some of the most popular places for tattooing. The reason is that in this area it is easy to find a place for an image of any style and almost any size.

The forearms are especially good for tattoo halves - they will be easy to fold and can be covered with clothing if desired.

Good for paired wrist tattoos - the same ornamental and floral bracelets, all kinds of inscriptions, not very large drawings will look good on them... But you need to be prepared for unpleasant sensations when applying - this area is very sensitive.

Tattoos on fingers will look bold, original, but they are very noticeable and need frequent correction, since they are constantly in contact with water. Small hearts, infinity sign will look very good.But it is precisely when choosing a tattoo for your fingers that you should thoroughly familiarize yourself with the symbolism of prison tattoos, so as not to accidentally find yourself in an unpleasant situation. In this regard, it is rather risky to opt for such popular card suits and all kinds of crowns. It is unlikely that such an oversight will lead to serious consequences, but it can deliver unpleasant moments.

Ankles and thighs are not the most popular places for paired tattoos. However, a graceful bracelet and a small pattern on the ankle will look cute and graceful.

A paired tattoo can be almost anything... The meaning of the picture is much more important here than what is depicted and where. If you are sure that your friendship will go through any trials, and you want to always have a reminder of your friend nearby, go ahead. Think over a sketch together, choose a place, style and a suitable artist. Together, think about what exactly you associate with each other: the first meeting, a joint vacation, your favorite song. Such a tattoo will be filled with bright, warm memories - this is the main thing.
